Prop Eight Upheld

So the first thing I noticed was who was twittering what, since Twitter is the fastest way to get breaking news of interest to bored Americans. Sticking my nose in the sewer, guess what I smelled?

THERE'S NO LIMIT ON HOW MANY COMPLAINTS YOU CAN FILE
it's quick, easy, fun, and above all legal
and I imagine, pretty effective if enuf people play too..
I just did a quick look-up, so please feel free to figure out who else is anti-american,
and post their info so that other people can join the fun also..
:)

That's the Prop8 Counterattack Virus being spread at your local Craigslist. I couldn't make that up.

The LAT reports at the end of their brief coverage highlighting a picture of outrage:

Even with the court upholding Proposition 8, a key portion of the
court's May 15, 2008, decision remains intact. Sexual orientation will
continue to receive the strongest constitutional protection possible
when California courts consider cases of alleged discrimination. The
California Supreme Court is the only state high court in the nation to
have elevated sexual orientation to the status of race and gender in
weighing discrimination claims.

Which is what we always knew. Nobody is being discriminated against and those that are should take their individual cases to court. That would be a parallel to the Civil Rights Movement, not declarations by fiat of what marriage is or is not. I said this long ago but I leave that as a Google exercise for another time. Today, I have a new motto with a hat tip to Bobby McFerrin.

Don't marry, be happy.

I'd still like to see the language of the majority opinion, but I'm too busy to really search. Why? I guess I'm just satisfied that's all.
